UNITED STATES BRADFORD F. LANoAsTER, OF LEANDER J. oRooKER AND LAMP- PATENT OFFICE.

STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,372, dated November 8, 1881.

Application filed August 13, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BRADFORD F. LANCAS- TER, a citizen of the at Augusta, in the county of Kennebcc and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,

such as will enable others skilled in theart towhich it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide in a cheap and durable form a cooking utensil which may be i used over an ordinary coaLoil lamp, and which shall take the place of the more expensive oil-stoves for all ordinary purposes.

My invention consists, briefly, ofa heatingtank surrounding a tube in the form of a lampchimney, the cover to the tank being surmounted by a rest or platform adj ustabl y raised high enough above the end of the tube to prevent the obstruction to the draft. The tank is divided into compartments, in which different articles may be heated 'at the same time; and attached to its sides are guys orcords, by which the heater may be steadied in place.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of my lamp-stove in place on an ordinary lamp. Fig. 2 shows section through .r mof Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows section through 3/ y of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail to show how the rest or top plate A is a tube, made in the form of a lamp! chimney. Atits lower end it receives the detachable joint A. The tube A is surrounded bythe tankB, which is soldered to it and forms a part of it. i V

Fitting into thetank "B are the sections or compartments 0 O, of which there may be two or more. These sections 0 O are intended to entirely fill the space within the tank, and they are provided with handles, by which they may belifted out.

Surmounting the tank Bis the cover D, containingahole through which the tube A passes.

Secured to the top of the cover D are the standards E E, which support the rest or platform F. The restF is to beplaced high enough above the end of the tube A so that it will not interfere with the draft or cause smoke to form.

United States, residingto letters or figures of ret'rence l his rest F is to be adjusted to pass up through, and in slotsein said standards placing pins f to support the rest; but this end may be gained in any desired way. The rest F contains a hole, f, through which the draft may pass when there is nothing heating on it.

Fastened to the sides of the tank B are three or more wires or cords, G G, which serve as guys or braces to steady the stove on the top of the lamp.

The stove is to be placed on a common lamp in the same manner as an ordin arylamp-chimney. The guys G are then fastened to screweyes set in the table or floor, or in any suitable manner. The sections 0 U are filled with any substances which it is desired to heat; or, if one article alone is to be heated, they may be removed and the substance placedimmediately in the tank B. An additional dish may be heated on the rest E, if desired.

The tube A is intended to be removable, and to .be of any required shape to fit different forms of burners, the rest of the apparatus being the same for all lamps.

My invention may be used over same manner as over oil lamps.

As thus made, I produce an article which will take the place of a regular oil-stove for all ordinary purposes, which can be cheaply made, which may be used on any lamp, and which possesses a combination of useful qualities not hithert seen in one article, to my knowledge.

I am aware that heretofore lam p-stoves have been used having-compartments for boiling, &c., about the chimney, and a detachable rest to be put on the cover and over the top of the chimney. Such features I do not broadly claim. 7 i

I claim A cooking utensil composed of the tube A, with its movable joint A, tank B, with its sections 0 O, and provided with the verticallyadjustable rest F, having opening f, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
